Saving Your Vintage Rhinestone Bracelets From Losing Their Dazzling Appeal

By Elsa Noel


The point of putting on fashion accessories is to make your clothes appear more interesting and bring the spotlight to your personality, not keep you from shining. That is why it's a good idea to properly care for and store your collection of vintage rhinestone bracelets. You don't have to go through a lot of trouble just to ensure that your dazzling jewelries are always looking fabulous.

Your goal is to ensure that those rhinestones are always sparkling. It is also important to keep the metal parts gleaming. There is no use in putting a bracelet around your wrist if it's not as eye-catching as it should be. Especially because the personal ornament is worn just above your hand which you use for a lot of things, the accessory should always stay looking fabulous.

Correct storage is vital to prevent these lovely items from ending up damaged most especially when you are not wearing them. Style conscious women like you should purchase an excellent jewelry organizer. The right one to invest in is something that features several compartments. Every section has to be lined with a soft material such as felt to save any item from scratches.

It is also a good idea to stash each bracelet in the box that it came with when you purchased it. Refrain from discarding the original packaging. This is especially true if one day you are planning on selling the bracelet as the box adds to the value. Whenever you are traveling, place every item in its own pouch out of velvet or any other soft cloth for its utmost protection.

These vintage personal ornaments have a few enemies and one of them is water. It's due to the fact that water can actually damage the foil placed at the back of rhinestones, something that allows them to beautifully sparkle just like those costly precious stones. Do not dip your accessories in water for cleaning purposes or stash them in an area where it's hot and moist.

Time will come when the rhinestones have to be cleaned in order to bring back the gleam of these lovely decorative elements. Carrying out such task is best done with the help of a soft cloth dampened a little with the glass cleaner of your choice. Refrain from resorting to the use of harsh jewelry cleaners. As stated above, you should not immerse the item in water to get it cleaned.

When it comes to the metal parts, it is recommendable to use a polishing cloth on them each time. Cheap and easily available online and offline, using this product is the quickest and safest way to restore the lost beauty of a bracelet. You may use a damp soft-bristled toothbrush to remove stubborn impurities on the surface. Just see to it that you completely dry the item right away.

Harsh chemicals in your daily cosmetic products can rob those vintage bracelets of their sparkle. That is why you should put them on only after you have applied your hairspray, deodorant, lotion, perfume and others. Make it a habit to remove them first at the end of your day. Doing so saves them from rubbing against the likes of metal buttons and zippers on your clothing.
